Investigating Quality and Safety and Intervention Design in Health Services (IQID) Course
This highly successful course has been run in December 2022 (Oxford), September 2023 (Oxford), and January 2024 (Hanoi). It explores the 'diagnosis' of health care delivery challenges, explains interventions as change processes and supports participants to develop practical strategies for evaluation and intervention.
9th - 13th December 2024, Christ Church, Oxford
Participants will learn and develop their project ideas with course leads Prof. Mike English (Global Health and Implementation Science) and Prof. Charles Vincent (Quality and Safety Science).
The course is especially suited to small teams who are developing or embarking on an intervention, service redesign, implementation or improvement project. Individuals including PhD students developing a project are also welcome. By the end of the week each team / individual will have produced a detailed practical plan to guide their project or programme development.
Experience suggests the course is valued by:
- Policy makers who seek to understand implementation or programme design and evaluation
- Programme managers who are implementing interventions or improvement programmes
- Practitioners in leadership roles interested in changing practices where they work
- Researchers or PhD students engaged in implementation projects
- Participants in both low and high resource settings
